Dynamic optimisation of an industrial web process

Neural modelling, control and optimisation of an industrial grinding process

This paper describes the development of neural model-based control strategies for the optimisation of an industrial aluminium substrate disk grinding process. The grindstone removal rate varies considerably over a stone life and is a highly nonlinear function of process variables. Using historical grindstone performance data, a NARX-based neural network model is developed. This model is then us...

Dynamic Simulation of an Industrial Rotary Dryer

Industrial Process Optimisation with JIAC (Demonstration)

In this demonstration we present the EnEffCo project as a showcase for the JIAC V agent framework. EnEffCo addresses the problem of optimising energy consumption in industrial production processes. As the optimisation of the processes is handled by JIAC V agents, the project profits from a number of industry-grade software features of the JIAC V framework, such as stability, reliable communicat...

Web-based Business Process Modeling and Optimisation

In this paper a Web-based tool component for modeling and optimisation of business processes is presented. A core idea of our approach is that business process descriptions are stored in a standardised XML-based format, which can be automatically transformed into a Petri Net format. Petri Nets are used because they allow a formal analysis, evaluation, and optimisation of business processes. Our...

Process Integration of a Dynamic Industrial System

The aim of this study is to obtain a dynamic modelling and simulation of a Portuguese industrial integrated system composed of three different processes. This work includes the analysis of the optimal integration of the different units, and the study of the effect of some operational and atmospheric conditions on the system to maximize its global thermal efficiency. The cogeneration system was ...
